In a frigid home opener at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies succumbed to the Oakland Athletics, losing 6-3 in 11 innings. Despite a sellout crowd of 48,105 braving the snow and cold, the Rockies fell to a dismal 1-6, matching their worst start through seven games in franchise history. Angel Chivilli's pitching woes contributed to the defeat, notably as Gio Urshela scored in the 11th inning with a double. The Rockies struck out 14 times and left 13 runners stranded, highlighting their struggles at the plate.

The game, marked by a bizarre eighth inning where Kyle Farmer's double was misinterpreted as an inside-the-park home run, saw Colorado tie the game at 3-3. Meanwhile, Ezequiel Tovar's defensive error allowed the A's to take the lead. Ryan Feltner pitched a solid five innings but couldn't secure the win, while the evening's biting temperature lingered at 32 degrees at game's end, the second-coldest home opener in history.
